- Lubomir Visnovsky scored 1:55 into overtime as the New York Islanders outlasted the Toronto Maple Leafs in a wild 5-4 contest Thursday night. So Lubomir Visnovsky's overtime goal lifting them to a wild 5-4 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs was especially… (more) satisfying. Visnovsky's winner came after Anders Lee scored two tying goals for the Islanders in a see-saw third period in which the teams combined for five goals in a nine-minute span. The Islanders held that lead entering the third before the outburst by both teams. Grabner answered for the Islanders with his first short-handed score at 15:53 with an assist to Casey Cizikas. The New York Islanders have been on the losing end of many roller-coaster finishes this season. The veteran defenseman's unassisted tally 1:55 into extra time ended a see-saw contest Thursday night in which the teams combined for five goals in an 8 1/2-minute span of the third period.
